Most of the tools discussed in the course can be explored and used
on the MCS
Linux installation in the Computer Laboratory’s Teaching Lab,
which is currently a customized version of Ubuntu Linux 12.04. There
are
some Computing
Service Unix Support notes on MCS Linux available. Problems with
MCS Linux should be reported to
service-desk@ucs.cam.ac.uk [but feel free to cc to me
(mgk25) as well].
